Allen G. Thurman, the old Roman OK
pressed his opinion of President Clrvr-
land the other day in a speech at Ken
ton, Ohio, as follows:
81 want to speak of a man | know
Grover Cleveland. | have lived through
a good many presidential terms. l have
known several presidents personally. l
have read the history of all the admins
t%rations, and say upon my honor as a
man, bound to tell you the truth as faith
fully as every maj told the truth, that n
more honest, brave, truer man never fill
ed the presidential chair. l say he is an
honest, plain man, of far more ability
then the people generally think.
He has Il at supreme faculty, common
sense. If he is not a le~vel-headed, honest
nan am no judge of men. He grows
in the popular favor every day, and
when the four years of his administm-
ton are at an end the people will say =:
You have done well; YOU may take your
seat for another four years."

THE DEVIL woRsHlPERs.


Strange Religion Of the wild Kurds Who
Dwell on the Mesopotamia.
Not far from Mosul, in Mesopotamia,
there are a few Kurdish villages where
one hnds neither mosque nor minaret,
synagogue nor medrash, church nor meet
ing house. Moslema-saving IN occa-
sional government ofiicial-are rarely seen
there, travellers not ut all. Ordinarily
there Is nothing in the appearance of those
places or the people to attract the atten-
ton OF wayfarers apart from the white
dresses OF the women and the vests of the
men. But one day in the year the village
assumes quite a holiday aspect in prepa-
ration for q strange ceremony annually
enacted there. The houses are plentifuAy
decked with garlands of yellow flowers,
and the people TAX up positions outside
the women in spotless gowns, the men
with a twisted black cord around their
necks.
Then a procession of some thirty persons
energies from the residence of the 'spir''
or priest, and begins slowly to perambu-
late the village. In front march half a
dozen weird looking p~ersonages in long
Dlack robes and strange black headgear;
Then come half a score Of "kawals," in
yellow mantles and white turbans, chant
ing religious hymns in an %outlandish
tongue, and behind them as many more
playing an accompaniment to the singers
ON reedy flutes and t~ambourines. Follow
ing these is the white rObed priest, bear
ing upon his shoulders a kind Of epaulet
I'M holding aloft the bronze figure of a
bird, guarded on either side by a fierce
looking Kurd, with q perfect arsenal Of
small arms about his person. In the rear
rides the white turbaned sheik of the dis
trict, with a second batch of 'fblack
heads' to wind up the procession. The
party makes the round of the village, the
people raising their hands toward the
brazen bird as it passes, and then halts in
front OF the priests house. Here a sheep
is IN readiness; 1t is cut open and the
heart is torn from it and thrown down Al
the feet of the black robed figures. The
procession then re-enters the dwelling.
while the sheep is made ready for the pot,
and in honor Of the day the residents
aftcrwnrd dine together as soon as their
stew" is ready.
These Kurdish villagers are the
"Yezidis." or ''devil worshipers'' Of
M~esopotamia, and their annual procession
known as the Showing Of the king
bird, the melik taons or peacock king"
is the only ceremonial of their mystic
cult. The devil worshipers accent no
p~roselytes. "a Yezidi," they say, Unjust
be born a Yezidi; he cannot be made.n
They have no ceremonial additions, or
attach nj Importance to them, and are
allowed to use nothing colored blue. They
will not sit down on q sofa having a blue
tassel or enter a room containing an article
OF furniture covered with blue cloth.
Their religion prohibits them from serving
as soldiers, though there appears to be
nothing to prevent them from cutting
Threats on their own account. They
baptize boys and girls, and when old
enough every member has to make choice
a sister or brother who is to be his or
her companion for eternity.-Cor. st.
James Gazette.

The second prize for ornamental draw.
ing in the Cooper institute has been
awarded to a young Chinaman, p. Son
You, over a large number of competitors,
p. Son You is about 90 year of age and is
employed by u cigar firm III Park row to
superintend the packing of cigars. He
has been in New York a little over two
years and has been about six years in the
country, living in San Francisco and ST,
Louis previous to coming to this city. By
his teachers at the institute he is regarded
as a young man of unusual artistic abil-
ity. One year ago, his first year in the
class, he received honorable mention for
the excellence of his knRrk. "He is,n
said his teacher, 'the finest appearing and
most intelligent pupil 1 have. / cannot
praise him too highly" In addition to
his ornamental drawing he is studying
painting, with the intention of some time
returning to his native country and be-
coming an artist. He claims to be Of
noble blood, a kind of prince in his own
country. He has, however, become thor
oughly Americanized, wearing the Ameri-
can dress and speaking English fluently.
He is n Christian and q Sunday school
teacher among his fellow countrymen in
the city.-New York Tribune.

THAT TOLL BRIDGE,

1t will be noticed that Capt. Harris, in
his report to the department, calls atten.
tion to the toll bridge over the Yellow
stone in the Park, owned and operated
by Messrs. J. W. Ponsford and Sanborn.
The Captain asks that something be
done with this matter as the bridge
should be free. In this he is pre-emi-
nently correct. j. W. Ponsford was a
part owner in this bridge before the
park was set aside and it would be mani
testify improper for the government to
take it away from him o without due
compensation. When the Nez Perccs
crossed this bridge in 1877 they burned
it Town. and Mr.. Ponsf0rd at a great ex-
pense had it rebuilt. The government
has never paid him a cent on account of
its destruction by its wards. Gen.
Sheridan and Sherman have both paid
toll over the bridge for themselves and
soldiers and Mr.. Ponsford has in his
possession letters from both by which
they recognize his rights as its owner.
1t is plainly apparent that the govern
should buy this bridge and allow
tourists to travel across it free of charge
hut it would be the height of injustice
for the government to declare Ponsford
and Sanborn tresspassers and deprive
them of their legal rights, We are
pleased to know that Can't. Harris has
called attention to the matter, and hope
that congress will take action on the
by buying the bridge and allowing
visitors to cross it free of charge.

"a LEPEROUS OUTLAW"

polls adds: "The two legged whelp who
penned the above lines has delibe rately
piled vilest contumely upon atrocious,
gratuitous i~alsehood; shamelessly insult.
ed a charming loveable woman; DETAINED
the sex of his mother; foully wronged
the American people, and put an efIace

We cry aloud for his ignominous dismis-

proclaims him a tainted, leperous out

BLACK BARLEY.

Nothing in the realm of agriculture
has attracted more widespread attention
among the western farmers of late years
than the new crop of Black Barley which
Hon. C. w. Hoffman has been raising
for the past two years and which was
fully described in the CHRONICLE of Octo-
Der 18th, 1887. Mr.. Hoffman is daily in
receipt of letters from all points of the
country asking for information regarding
the grain and applying for seed, which
of course he ia not..yet able to supply.
Through the kinaness of MIR. Hoffman
we are priveliged to print a through
analysis of this grain made by Prof. II.
W. Wiley, chief chemist of the depart.
ment of agriculture. With the sample
was sent to the Professor for compare
tive purposes, samples of Minnesota hard
wheat and good mailing Canadian barley.
The following is the result ofthe analysis,
to which is added II of the average re-
